    you would think if a person has fabric to sell they would want to sell more of it buy letting people make their crafts and thus benefiting all parties.

    Then wouldn't the fabric sellers be losing money by not selling as much. doesn't make sense to me.

    It wouldn't be mass produced. Just selling a few items to earn some extra income.

    That does sound like a plan, but would people really go to all that bother? I wonder...

    Call the manufacturer and ask. If they say yes it is alright, ask for it in writing maybe?? I have such a hard time with copyrights! And my job has everything to do with laws and regulations LOL

    When I contacted the copyright office they said all that is protected by the copyright is the fabric itself.
